Straight Outta Her Private Sauna In Her Multi-Million Dollar London Townhouse
At the 6:23 mark above is the moment when Graham Norton asked hip hop aficionado and $725 tank top dress enthusiast Fishsticks Paltrow to lay out a little N.W.A. and she fucking did it. Rose Hills will be covered with even more hills tonight because Eazy-E will be rocking the hell out of his grave over an over-privileged princess snowflake rapping about Compton. And while making Friday, Ice Cube probably predicted that the Internet would become a place where sometimes GIFs made from movie clips are the only way to perfectly express one's feelings about foolery conducted by fools, because this sums up Fishy's rap skills.
It also sums up my feelings about Lady Caca looking Carol Burnett as Nora Desmond as one of Dracula's brides.

Yeah, you're the Renaissance Man. Studying music is an immense help for studying languages. I started playing classical piano at 5, which made learning French, Spanish and German a bit easier.
Guys who play wind instruments develop amazing tongues. Mr. w plays the trumpet,too.
Gwyneth Paltrow is marginally more talented than the rest of Hollywood.As you say, the standards in both acting and music have become abysmally low.
(Britney Spears is too pathetic to hate.) No one would criticize Fishsticks with such glee if she did not put on an overachieving, Mommy-hating persona. Truly gifted,intelligent people know their limits and acknowledge their weaknesses. Michael K won't let us ignore her!
These days, you don't have to be able to sing a fuckin' note. AudioTune will take care of your pitch problems!
---------------
the truth! I am not offended with her rapping. It was clearly in jest and music should be available to everyone. Wasp or not. Seriously you cannot be offended by anyone singing any music. It should be for all. Even if it is crap.
A.cotw:
Yes, I studied classical music, so I had ot sing in several languages growing up as a child, but I only spoke Spanish and some French as a child. I learned the others after I moved overseas. Additionally, we had to learn to play an instrument to complement our main studies, so I learned to play the trumpet and flute.
I am used to breaking the stereotypes, and I am not easily offended. haha
As for Gwyneth, I think she is more talented than most in Hollyweird, but of course she is no rapper. However, since the bar has been lowered so dramatically these days, I would rather have her singing to me than the drivel of Britney spears, for example. These days, you don't have to be able to sing a fuckin' note. AudioTune will take care of your pitch problems!

Some people who rap, should not. That includes Fishsticks,though not for the racist reason,i.e.because she is half WASP, half Super Shiksa. What makes her irritating is her unshakeable belief than she can do anything, that her interest in an art or craft is equivalent to talent. I do not think her attempt to become a country singer was impressive,either!Fishsticks is essentially harmless,despite her desperate craving to be a Renaissance Man. I just wish she could find herself out of my sight.
You were an opera singer first,is that correct? I am afraid I do not remember which instruments you play. Your vocal training/ability and your linguistic skills must be tied together.
If anything I say offends you,please accept my apology. My Roman Catholic education(large and small c) is part of my identity as a citizen of the world;you know that guilt is heavy.
I was re-read The Color of Water yesterday. McBride described being the only Black child in his 5th grade class. Everyone was convinced he could dance like James Brown but he had THREE left feet.

By the way Breakdown, I am a HUGE fan of Roxy Music. It doesn't get more glam than that (outside the Dame himself).
Waah Breakdown Patti Labelle, oh God they know here here. Same as Etta James (even if it is because of the Diet Coke advert- for shame).
Oh I love me some Led Zep. It is a huge regret I was born in the 70s so was too young to properly enjoy the music. I love Pink Floyd too. When I was growing up a lot of music was ska (Madness etc). I listened to a lot of British music really be it The Smiths to Wham to The Cure etc. Then the end of the 80s we had the second summer of love with the Manchester sound (Stone Roses, happy Mondays). Then early 90s it was all about dance for me (I largely ignored the Seattle sound). And then of course the Brits gave a finger to grunge with Suede, Blur and *spit* Oasis. After that (around 95) I really got into Radiohead. But outside that I grew up with a lot of jazz, classical music, 60s and 70s.
Music has given me some of the greatest memories growing up.
A.cotw:
I grew up studying classical music for nearly twenty years. I was usually the only person of color in competitions and groups back then. Even today when I tell people my background, it is like I have to prove it right then and there. I can and do sing every genre, from country to punk rock and everything in between, so I am used to these kinds of prejudice, blanket statements.
Blue-eyed soul is nothing new. And just like hip-hop dancing is color blind now, it is all about what you are exposed to that decides what you get into.
Can I rap? Yes
Do I rap?
No.

Elvis did not steal. He was honest about his influences and sources. Breaky, if anyone had the right to sing the blues, and its offspring, rock & roll, it was a dirt-poor boy from Tupelo,Mississippi. His version of "Down In the Alley" is magnificent. I do prefer Big Mama Thorton singing "Hound Dog",of course. I will listen to anything written by Leiber & Stoller or Jimmy Reed.
The bad guy in Elvis's career was his manager.
I bet that you are a very thorough music teacher.
Submitted by GlitterKitty on Thu, 05/19/2011 - 3:28am.
OMG, I have not listened to Kraftwerk in ages. Thank you for reminding me,Glitter Kitty.
The British rockers learned a great deal from listening to recordings, too. Led Zeppellin is the greatest rock band, ever. (Don't tell my 72 year old head-banging mother I said so. She likes Led Zeppellin, but worships the Stones.) I think that the great British rockers were inspired by Black American blues and R&B, covered the best, then their creativity took flight. I don't think covering a great song or composition indicates a lack of talent. Bessie Smith was the first singer to become successful by covering songs;Miss Thing believed that anything her rivals did first,she could do better. Smith usually did. Nor do I approve of the racist types who think only a Black person can or should perform blues,R&B,jazz, etc. By the same token, many brilliant classical musicians are Black.
I don't know enough about ska or reggae. The Carribean sound that touches my soul is calypso. Ah well, there is so much I don't know. Spent the first 18 years of my life immersed in jazz and classical music, and I am still catching up.
GlitterKitty/a.ctow:
London calling, London calling! I don't get to London so often. But one of these days I will get over there again!
And as far as I am concerned, Elvis Presly is NOT the King of Rock. He stole his sound and image from a handful of black rock musicians that got no play or PR because of their color in the 50s.
And Etta James is known more overseas sometimes, but it really depends on the country. I think the music overseas is more eclectic, but their depth is more limited sometimes when it comes to certain genres that are bigger in the states.
For example, alot of the kids in Europe will know Mary J. Blige, but not Faith Evans. Or they will know Diana Ross, but not Patti Labelle.
Weird.

An interesting article about Hendrix, for anyone who is interested. ( I love Joe Queenan.)
www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/jun/13/vinylword.popandrock?INTCMP=SRCH
However, there is no denying that a great deal of music of the 20th Century was created by Black Americans.
-----
oh God I don't deny that at all. That was my point that the so called British invasion in the early 60s were bands that watched Black Americans perform in London! There would have been NO Great British rock (I think we own that segment!) without black music. No Stones, No Led Zep I can go on. A great, great label (I go on about it) was Island Records. In the 60s they brought reggae to Britain, some excellent artists. Black music here was both American inspired as well as Caribbean. When I listen to ska bands I am inclined to think that's more the Caribbean influence coming through. My point is, here it wasn't just black American music, it was also from other black influences.
But you won't hear me argue that music itself is almost all influenced by black music. Well maybe not Kraftwerk.
Goopy was tolerable on this show, much as I hate to admit it. It was the night Gaga was on and I wondered if Goopy might get a little pissy when all the attention wasn't solely on her - but it was all quite good.

Flat what. How could someone not know Aretha Franklin?! Please tell me that they at least know Etta James. That trick is a vocal goddess.
If someone hasn't heard of Ike Turner, do you play Rocket 88? What about the blues gods such as Muddy Waters.Howling Wolf,Buddy Guy,Memphis Slim,T-Bone,etc?
Breaky, eclectic taste in music is the best kind.
Ha Breakdown if I had the power to book you in London I would! You should try and get gigs here. Lots of people like the old glam rock!
Submitted by GlitterKitty on Thu, 05/19/2011 - 2:10am.
I agree that the way it was worded might have given the wrong impression. Yes, I know about British artists being inspired by Black American music and making it mainstream, and about Black artists finding a receptive audience in Britain. Jimi Hendrix was viewed as just another gifted sideman until Chas Chandler brought him to London. I dig.
However, there is no denying that a great deal of music of the 20th Century was created by Black Americans. First there was ragtime-listen to Debussy's Golliwog's Cakewalk-then jazz and blues. That music, and the musicians who performed it, crossed the Atlantic first. The French and Germans seem particularly fond of jazz. (My father was among other things, a jazz saxophonist,band leader, and choir director. When he retired from law enforcement he went back on tour & hit every music festival in Western Europe. He immigrated to the US from Venezuela as a child.) The British musicians of the 60s were following an earlier pattern established after WWI.
In the late 1950s-early 1960s, I think Atlantic R&B and Mississippi/Chicago blues were an even stronger influence than Motown. The first three Rolling Stones albums sounded like love letters to Chess Records. Muddy Waters sang 'The Blues Had a Baby and They Named it Rock and Roll'.In the immortal words of Francis Davis, when that brat started bringing home a paycheck, it looked as though he might boot the old man out of the house.
I think blues,jazz,R&B,soul, and funk belong to everyone who has the ability and spirit to appreciate it. Some of the best musicians in those forms come from Britain. Music is the only universal language.

I am sure Gwyneth DOES like rap/hip-hop. I listen to any and everything, and I never listen to mainstream radio. I have a glam rock band and I would never be able to have one in America. They are not ready for a black man dressed up like Ziggy Stardust in kilts and shit.
And even though I like to give Eurovision shit, at least it is interesting sonically and visually.

American audiences don't know who Roisin Murphy is usually, and they are missing out. That is one great example.
-------------------
I know, she's great! I have always loved totally different music. From folk (Sandy Denny etc) to pop (80s) to glam rock to indie rock etc. I mean it's hard to think Gwynnie may love rap but why not. Yesterday I was driving around and had my ipod plugged into my car radio:
1) Radiohead- Fake Plastic Trees
2) John Martyn- Solid Air
3) Cluture Club- Miracle
4) Foxy Brown- Hot Spot
5) Desmond Decker- The Harder they come
6) ELO- Living thing
etc etc etc
If you listen to my ipod you'd think I was 100 different people.
GlitterKitty:
I am always shocked and a bit taken aback I must add, whenever I talk to Europeans and they will know who Elvis Presley is, but not Aretha Franklin, for example. Or they will know all about Tina Turner, but they've never heard of Ike.
I like that music is not as 'packaged' in Europe and that is one of the reasons why I live here. I can create music of any genre and not be labelled because of my color. I also think Europeans are more open to music across the board than American audiences.
American audiences don't know who Roisin Murphy is usually, and they are missing out. That is one great example.

He/she said "actual black people". Whilst I agree that rap is (I wouldn't say exclusive but definitly started in the USA)an American thing, it was worded rather unhappily. As for black American music, this found a platform in the early 60s in Britain, not the USA. What you had were (white) british bands getting attention in the USA with songs they heard from black American artists performing in the UK (I saw a great documentary on early Motown artist in Britain who came here to perform as they found the audience more receptive).
Britain has more of a Caribbean influence. You had rap, we had ska and our political messages from bands like the Specials. I think British kids focus more on British music (with exceptions of course, Gaga is huge here as is Rihanna).Dizzy Rascal is more popular than JayZ and he is as London as it gets.
Anyway as for fish FINGERS, I really don't think she is THAT bad.

One thing that made me feel at home in London was that it is so multiethnic,just like the San Francisco Bay Area.
So I understand why you're annoyed, but please consider that maybe Roxy meant that Black Americans "own" rap. Unlike jazz,blues,rhythm & blues,soul, and other musical forms initially created by Black Americans, rap/hip hop still seems quintessentially a product of the US. Social conditions,etc. (My favorite modern music critic described rap as the crack baby of soul and funk.)
I've talked to teenagers from Norway and Sweden who know Jay-Z's entire oeuvre but have never heard of Marlene Dietrich,but the perception that real hip-hop comes from the hood lingers. Sonne said "Straight Outta Compton" T-shirts are for sale in Denmark. LMAO!!!
I finally watched the video and who is the little Irish guy....he makes me giggle. I want to take him home with me or go to a sing song at his house with his mum. :D

First off, I cannot believe that stage survived the cunt load it had to carry that night. Graham Norton is nauseating on his own, let alone Fishy and CaCa. I would love to see Gwyneth do that in America, where actual black people live.

Seriously do you think we don't have black people in Europe? Are you that stupid? This is sadly not the first time I heard a comment like that either.
Jesus I truly do despair at some people.
Sorry if you meant it differently but it reads like you think that black people exclusively live in the USA (GYAC they don't!)

If your hair has the same lovely shade as Natalie's you have nothing to worry about. Home hair color products for brunettes are fantastic these days. My mom turned grey at 27 too, and at near 80 she's still able to mimic her own hair color. It's the blondes that manufacturers don't respect. Three times now I've used L'Oréal, and three times my hair turned Spring Green. I'm obviously not worth it.
